Standard Medical Tests: What to Expect During Your Visit

The entire medical screening process at Max MedCentre is typically completed within 2 to 3 hours under one roof:

1. Registration & Biometric Verification

Upon arrival, your original passport is verified against your visa application file (IME / HAP / NZER number). Staff capture live digital photographs and biometric signatures for your official eMedical file.

2. Clinical Laboratory Testing

• Blood Tests: Screening for infectious diseases including HIV I & II and Syphilis (VDRL/RPR). Certain permanent residency categories also evaluate Serum Creatinine (eGFR) for renal health.
• Urine Analysis: Testing for microscopic hematuria, proteinuria, and glucose levels to screen for underlying metabolic or kidney disorders.

3. Digital Chest Radiography (X-Ray)

A digital low-radiation chest X-ray is administered to detect active or latent pulmonary tuberculosis. Pregnant applicants are provided double lead-shield aprons or given the option to defer testing until after delivery following consultation with the panel radiologist.

4. Physical Consultation with Empanelled Panel Physician

The panel doctor reviews your detailed medical history, checks resting vitals (blood pressure, pulse rate), conducts height and weight measurements (BMI calculation), tests distant visual acuity (bring your corrective eyeglasses or contact lenses), and performs a general systemic examination of heart and lung sounds.

Mandatory Documents Checklist for Your Appointment

To avoid administrative delays or cancellation of your visa appointment, carry the following documents:

• Original Valid Passport: Along with two clear photocopies of the bio-data pages (front and back).
• Visa Medical Instruction Letter: Official embassy letter containing your IME number (Canada), HAP ID (Australia), or NZER number (New Zealand). For Upfront Medicals (Canada SDS), inform the desk during booking.
• COVID-19 & Routine Vaccination Certificates: Government-issued digital vaccine printouts.
• Medical History Documentation: If you take long-term prescription medication (for hypertension, thyroid disorders, or diabetes) or have undergone past major surgeries, bring original discharge summaries and recent physician notes.
• Corrective Eyeglasses: If you wear prescription spectacles or contact lenses, bring them for the distant vision examination.
